Refrigeration technicians need to use extreme care when working with torches during the brazing and soldering process. The flames of a torch can easily reach 3,000°F. At this temperature, serious ...

The processes of brazing, soldering, and welding are often miscategorized as all being welding. In the process of welding, both the edge of the base metal and the filler metal are melted. During ...

Although torch brazing is the most widely used brazing method, finding a skilled operator for the process is a difficult task for many manufacturers. Moreover, it elevates regulatory and safety ...

Multiple tool inserts, typically between 40 and 60, are usually brazed individually onto a single drill bit, especially when used in down-hole fixed-cutter, hammer, or rock drill rebuild and ...

Skipping any of the basic brazing steps can lead to pipe joint failure. Strong brazed joints in high-pressure pipes are critical to lasting, leak-free performance. However, brazing is not always given ...

Brazing joins parts by heating them to more than 840°F and applying a filler metal that has a melting temperature below that of the base metal. Filler metal flows into the joint by capillary ...

Welding is only one part of metalworking. You also can cut steel, using oxygen/acetylene equipment with a special head called a cutting torch. Cutting torches come as part of many consumer-grade gas ...
